over 50 years of instruction.

Photographic reference permits a variety of subject
matter created in the same classroom, offering a much broader range
of art education than you would receive in a workshop where everyone
paints from the same model.

Learn Frank Covino’s proven system
to produce your own masterpieces like the great masters. He gives
personalized hands on instruction with every student because
the maximum class size is only 15 students. Frank Covino Students
are among the highest paid semi-professional artists in the world.
